how can wood float on oil but not a bottle?
ans.1. wood can be float on oil because it is a thick, hard, and heavy object. 2.the bottle can not float on oil because it is not thick, hard, and, not heavy object. that's why it can not float
What 2 factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
The density of the object and the density of the liquid. The object must be less dense than the liquid to float.

Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
It depends on the density of the liquid the object is immersed in and also the density of the object itself. If the liquid is more dense then the object, it will float.
Why might an object float in water?
Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.

Why do heavy things float?
Any object will float if it has less density than the liquid.

Shape and density
Why can't heavy objects float without salt?
They can float without salt - It's the ratio of water displaced by the object in relation to its weight of the object that allows it to float - not the salt content of the water.

When an object float what does the object have?
when a object float it has density
What can you do to heavy objects to make them float?
An object can float on water only if its density is less than water.(Archimedes principle). So, to make an object float, its density should be low. For this purpose, its mass should be less and volume should be greater(d=m/v), so to make heavy objects to float, their volume should be as less as possible.

Why is an object too heavy on the earth can be lifted easily on the moon give reasons?
Because in space its makes things float
If the density of an object is 1 then will that object sink or float?
The object would float in the middle if it was in water.
